Hiding Proof-of-Space in Blockchain Systems

2. The method of claim 1, wherein: a blockchain network verifies the proof-of-knowledge and the quality of the proof-of-space in the challenge response block; and the blockchain network utilizes the new block data to generate a new block within the blockchain.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the blockchain network is the Chia network.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the blockchain network is the Chia network.

9. The blockchain network of claim 7, wherein the blockchain network is the Chia network.

11. The device of claim 10, wherein: the blockchain logic is further configured to: generate a first hash of at least a portion of the new block data; generate a second hash combining the first hash and the proof-of-space; and combine the proof-of-knowledge, the quality of the proof-of-space, the second hash, and new block data to generate a challenge response block.

12. The device of claim 10, wherein the blockchain logic is configured to be compatible with the Chia network.
